Corruption and Rule of Law in India

Meet the extraordinary Kiran Bedi. She was India's first senior female police officer. Never shy of standing up to authority she has faced down sword-wielding rioters, towed away a prime minister's car and turned around India's most notorious prison.

Now she is taking on the biggest fight of her life -- tackling India's endemic corruption.

Also a conversation with academic and activist Nandini Sundar about a long festering Maoist rebellion in eastern India. She recently took a case to the Indian Supreme Court to prevent a state government from arming a militia.

Transparency International rates PERCEPTIONS of corruption, not actual corruption. This is done by surveying a large number of people, not by investigating incidents of corruption. India may be very corrupt, but this survey should not be used as evidence of that corruption.
